Because Easter was originally a pagan festival, worshiping the spring equinox, and a fertility goddess, it's unlikely the egg can be exalted as "paschal" which means sacrifice, the lamb being representative of Christ, it is also the Jewish Passover. It became a Christian festival when Constantine declared Easter and Christmas as Christian festivals. God has said in Jeremiah not to adopt the festivals of the heathen, and what do we do? Incorporate them anyway, the Jewish feasts are the ones to celebrate, they are eternal, blessings Roy
Typo : (Danial) fast. Daniel? 2: (Paschel) egg, paschal?

Comment from Shirley McLain
I had no idea why we had Easter Eggs, but I do now. It's amazing. I've gone through 73 years not knowing anything, but they were fun to color and good to eat. Now a days, people around here hide plastic eggs filled with candy. Especially the church hunts, because they don't won't law suits from salmonella infections. You did a great job. Have a wonderful day. Shirley

Thank you for sharing this post with us. Some of it I knew and some of it was new information. It makes me wonder when or where the very expensive Faberge eggs came into existence.
Easter eggs have been known about at least as far back as the 13th Century AD? (period after 'AD')

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Interesting. And well written.
I believe all Christian holidays are being paganized. Easter is an easy one since it often falls near the spring equinox. The end of winter and fertility are naturals for celebration. Santa Claus made paganizing of Christmas easy. Non-believers can adapt thanksgiving to humanism without qualm. If they could figure out how to capitalize on Pentecost Sunday, they certainly would.
Best wishes.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was really interesting, Brett. I'd never heard of Mesopotamia, so I Googled it, and learned a lot, that it's older than China was an eye opener! The simple egg is a symbol of Christ in so many countries. And what it represents makes complete sense. I had no idea. I really enjoyed reading your post, it was fascinating, and educational. Well done! :)) Sandra xx

Thank you, that was informative and interesting, as well as being well written. There is a rumour going around here that Easter eggs are the result of a hen being raped by a rabbit, but I am reluctant to believe it.
